The routine work of the Institute has prospered favor- 

 ably, and considerable amount has been done in preparing 

 a large quantity of printed matter relating to the Centen- 

 nial Exhibition for binding. The Ladies' Centennial 

 Commission of Salem, by a generous money contribution, 

 has enabled the society to purchase and place in the li- 

 brary, for reference, many valuable books, pamphlets, 

 photographs, maps, catalogues, etc.
